Reuniendo los testimonios de más de un centenar de participantes, que van desde quienes dirigían los combates, como el general norteamericano Westmoreland y el vietnamita Vo Nguyen Giap, hasta aviadores, guerrilleros o agentes de la CIA, sin olvidar las víctimas civiles, y encuadrándolos dentro de una interpretación que toma en cuenta los más recientes resultados de la investigación histórica, Christian G. Appy ha construido un impresionante retablo de la guerra: un relato que resulta, a la vez, fascinante y estremecedor, y que desmiente muchos de los tópicos que hasta hoy se venían contando. De este libro ha dicho un crítico: «Si usted quiere comprar un solo libro sobre la guerra de Vietnam, éste es el que necesita».

Work Description
Christian G. Appy's monumental oral history of the Vietnam War is the first work to probe the war?s path through both the United States and Vietnam. These vivid testimonies of 135 men and women span the entire history of the Vietnam conflict, from its murky origins in the 1940s to the chaotic fall of Saigon in 1975. Sometimes detached and reflective, often raw and emotional, they allow us to see and feel what this war meant to people literally on all sides? Americans and Vietnamese, generals and grunts, policymakers and protesters, guerrillas and CIA operatives, pilots and doctors, artists and journalists, and a variety of ordinary citizens whose lives were swept up in a cataclysm that killed three million people. By turns harrowing, inspiring, and revelatory, Patriots is not a chronicle of facts and figures but a vivid human history of the war.
